Lizzie Cafe & Bakery @ NU Sentral

3.5(138)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Pastries and breakfast draw regulars here, but the experience splits sharply. Recent visits praise staff helpfulness and the western menu, yet others encounter bland food, oily mains, and air-con failures that make upstairs seating uncomfortable. Inconsistency-from excellent croissants to spoiled pastries-keeps it from cohering, though a skilled barista or two could turn opinions around. One staff member, May, earned specific praise for service attention. The space compresses outdoor and indoor zones; many opt for open seating to avoid stuffiness. Prices run high relative to what some dishes deliver: a RM13.80 espresso drew complaint for quality and grind; breakfast combos land around RM18-22. Location works for transit commuters, but repeat custom hinges on which kitchen and front-of-house moment you encounter.

Since opening, Cong Caphe has built a loyal following for its Vietnamese coffee and pho, served in a heritage-decorated space that feels like a pocket of calm inside NU Sentral. Recent reviews celebrate the strength and sweetness of the brew, the beef noodles, and staff warmth, though one diner reported seeing a cockroach among the table décor. The cafe draws people in for work, study, and leisurely breaks; a small library corner and free wifi support that mission. A hygiene concern from two weeks ago and earlier reports of faulty wifi suggest these deserve attention if the business wants to keep momentum. The RM15.90 lunch sets and signature drinks like coconut milk with cocoa stand out for value and flavour. Staff are consistently described as fast, smiling, and patient. Recent reviews show the cafe appeals equally to locals seeking authentic Vietnamese comfort and travellers surprised to find it tucked away in a mall.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Staff quality varies sharply by person. Reviewers consistently praise specific baristas and managers like Rizuan, Imran, Zul, and Nurin for thoughtful service, custom requests, and unexpected discounts. Cakes and specialty beverages draw repeated compliments. However, recent reviews highlight a persistent gap: order mix-ups happen, names go uncalled during rushes, and waits stretch to 20-30 minutes despite orders being forgotten entirely. The chain's location and extended hours work for quick visits or study sessions, but reliability remains uneven. Birthday vouchers impress when staff remember to apply them. One serious report flagged a plastic fragment in a drink. The better experiences cluster around named, experienced staff members, suggesting consistency depends heavily on who's working that day.
